    Republican self-interest

    Why anyone at any time would ever vote for a Republican again for any office is beyond me. This list of Southern senators are no better than Begoyavich and his shenanigans. At least, and this is no defense, just a comparison, at least Begoyavich seems to be motivated by simple stupid greed. The Republicans profiled in this piece seem to be motivated instead by cynical disregard for the general welfare of the country, to not even mention the lives and futures of several million people intertwined with the automotive industry, and blind focus on their own constituencies. Isn't there still a greater good out there that politicians are supposed to look out for? These men are disgusting.
